Display file puzzlement

I inherited a program/display file that needs modification. There is a weird
bug in the display file that I do not understand.

At the record level, there is the conditioned keyword PUTOVR.

At the field level, there is a conditioned DSPATR (HI RI PC).

The same indicator used for PUTOVR and DSPATR is also used to condition an
ERRMSG.

The error message is displayed, but the field that it perains to is unchanged.

Is there another keyword that needs to be included to cause the effected field
to be displayed with the appropriateattribute changes?

Also, if I need the DSPATR to be conditioned by two indicators connected by OR,
on which of the two lines is the DSPATR keyword used on?

Been way to long since I have done much with display files.

Thanks in advance.
